Artwork details

La imagen muestra el famoso Dedo de Dios, un monumento natural situado en la costa de Agaete, al noroeste de Gran Canaria.

Se trataba de un esbelto monolito rocoso de unos 30 metros de altura que emergía del mar, coronando un acantilado. Su forma alargada y vertical, que recordaba a un dedo apuntando hacia el cielo, inspiró su nombre poético y cargado de simbolismo.

El Dedo de Dios fue durante siglos un icono natural y cultural para la isla, inmortalizado en pinturas, fotografías, poemas y canciones. Lamentablemente, en 2005 el huracán Delta provocó su derrumbe parcial, aunque la base del roque sigue en pie y continúa siendo un lugar emblemático dentro del paisaje de Agaete.
